  I put t know what the problem is, but it's not a prob of Windows.
  It doesn t work either in Bios.

  Thank you for the help

  Hello

  It looks like a hardware problem.
  If the warranty is valid, you can contact the ASP in your country for a verification of the material.

  If the warranty is not valid, you can first check if the keyboard cable is properly connected to the motherboard.
  If it s properly connected then a keyboard failure is possible and it would be wise to check if a replacement would help solve this problem.

  Compatible parts can be ordered also from the ASP in your country.

• Satellite A80-154 - cooling module very hard

  Hello

  Since a few days, my A80-154 laptop cooling unit is very strong from time to time.
  It is a gurgling noise, which, well, doesn't sound like a cooler should sound.

  It occurs mainly when I turn on my computer.
  My computer is about 2 years old.

  Is there someone who has the same problem? Or even someone who can tell me how to solve this problem?

  Best regards

  Matthias Mentschel

  Hello

  In my opinion, there are two possible reasons why buzz comes from the cooling module.

  (1) the cooling module is clogged and dust and debris to prevent courteous race fans
  (2) the malfunctioning of the cooling module and must be replaced

  Well, in both cases, the laptop must be disassembled to check what's exactly wrong.
  I see that you are a beginner and I wouldn't recommend open Notepad by yourself.

  Ask a technician for laptop to help him avoid further damage of laptop!

  Good luck

• A80-154: Question about warranty and sell a laptop

  Hello. I want to sell my Toshiba A80-154 to ebay. Does anyone have experience how to give the remaining warranty (1.5 years) to the new owner? The laptop is registered with my name.

  Hello

  Well, I assume that your laptop is already registered and you want to change the owner of the cell phone. I m not 100% sure, but I think that the Toshiba service partner should have the ability to edit the details of the guarantee. In my opinion you should ask ASP for help.

  I also found a site of warranty on the Toshiba site information. Maybe you will find some information on the topic.

• Need to swap the CPU of a Satellite A80 154 fan

  Hey there,

  I use a Satellite A80. My CPU fan no longer works and I want to change it.
  Anyone know where I can get a guit maintenace and service for the A80 know how open and change the FAN or someone knows how to change the fan?
  Thx a lot

  Hello

  I think it would look better in your situation contact a local authorized service partner because exchanging a fan in a notebook is not like exchanging into a desktop computer.
  Just a suggestion: click on the following link:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT

  You can call and send maybe your machine for them. Should be more advisable to give some expert to do this because you can cause serious damage to your machine when you are not familiar with these electronic components to your machine.

• Satellite Pro L100 - Question about BIOS password reset

  Hello

  I have problems with an old satellite L100 to request the password from the bios, which we do not know.

  I saw there are different ways of short connections to work around this problem, but I can't find anything about this particular model and none of the information I've seen applies to this motherboard.

  Can someone please help and direct me to what pins needs a short circuit on the laptop to be able to re - use this equipment.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Chris

  > old satellite L100 asking to specify the password of the bios, which we do not know.

  The password of BIOS bad new buddy is a kind of security mechanism that cannot be removed easily. The unknown BIOS password can be deleted only authorized Toshiba service
  This is why you must contact the ASP in your country to remove

• Satellite A80-154 / 3-4-3 beep problem

  Hello

  When I try to turn on the laptop, he made a series of beeps, 3-4-3 (short beeps, anyway) and the laptop is blocking down, but the Start button remains light, I need to hold down 5 seconds to turn off the laptop...

  In the past, I had this problem a few times, the laptop proceeded after a few tries, so I reinstalled windows too, but now it turn on at all...
  And now I have no battery for him, but after my opinion, this is not the problem...

  Hey Buddy,

  These beep codes usually mean that a hardware problem is detected...
  There is nothing to affect windows and battery doesn t it. You can also use the laptop without battery.

  You have two memory modules RAM? If so you should try it with a module only, maybe one or two modules are defective.

• A80-157 LCD upgrade to the A80 - 154

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A80 - 157 (model .es), which seems to be the same model as the A80 - 154 (model .de) except the screen. They have the same graphics card.

  A80 - 157 has a XGA 15 '' LCD
  A80 - 154 has a SXGA 15 '' LCD

  I wonder if I could spend my A80-157, with the A80-154 LCD replacement screen.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I checked these two models Toshiba Satellite A80 and A80-157 unit supports max 1,024 x 768 internal resolution.
  Satellite A80 154 supports the 1,400 x 1,050.

  The screen both have the same measures, and in my view, that it should be possible to replace this poster.
  But if you do, you will lose the warranty.

• A80 - 154 cooling fan noise

  Hello

  I just bought an A80 154 yesterday and found out that the cooling fan is really noisy and annoying. It starts and stops at intervals of 4 to 6 minutes.
  Any of you have experience with this issue or my laptop has a problem because I can still Exchange it with another.

  I have 1 laptop another manufacturer, and it is very quiet.
  Thank you.

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  I have often heard the claims about the noisy fans in the last time. In most of the cases it was normal, because of the recent mobile performance have, they need a lot of cooling. And a fan runs with higher speed produced more noise.

  But I don't know if it's true to your laptop. I think you should show a technician, who has experience with the model.

• Satellite A80-135 PSA80: after updating Bios keyboard will not

  SATELLITE A80 - 135 MS (MS is for Spanish)?
  model PSA80E-04C00JSP
  SER 55XXXXXXK

  Windows xp sp3 Spanish

  -> Update of the riginal 1.5_ bios (bios ID EAT10 / EAT20 bios version: v1.50)
  for _v 2.8_

  Downloaded bios - 20070709170816.zip of the Spain of toshiba
  http://es.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=es

  Unzipped the file and found an excutable "windows installation" and "AT10280a.rom".
  Double-click on the installer and...

  .... Now the keyboard is used for nothing (strange signs instead of letters)

  During the update (windows xp) I think I saw something on a master (original rom backup) in c:/windows/temp
  but now I can't find the backup rom.

  Can anyone help?
  Would it be possible to 'downgrade' to the bios (1.5) original and if so... where can I find it?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I don t know why it happened after updating the BIOS, but I guess that the language of the keyboard settings are not correct.

  Go to Control Panel-> Regional Options & language-> language (second tab)-> Details

  Here, you must choose the right keyboard (Spanish) language?

  Good bye

• Satellite A80-127: the cooling fan noise is loud

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A80-127, its been 1.5 years... now. I have this fan makes a lot of noise... as if the rotor is gone. Neon else faced a similar problem? or is it normal to have this noisy turbine like noise...
  Thank you
  knockaert

  This noise appears at the beginning?
  If not then maybe it s something wrong with the cooling module, for example: ball bearing.
  It of not impossible that cooling fans working wrong maybe it must be replaced.

• A few questions on the upgrade of the Satellite M30x 154

  Hi all

  I plan on upgrading my Satellite M30x-154.
  I was wondering if you guys would like to know before upgrading if the things I want to buy this would work.

  I would change my Hitachi 60 GB for a Seagate 100 g (link following) would this work?
  http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131274

  I have BIOS version 1.90.

  I intend to install Vista on it. I'll be able to use an OEM copy?

  I currently have 1 GB custom memory Idleness I plan on implementing to 2 GB inside
  It still works fine?

  See you soon
  Robert Knight

  Hello

  1 upgrade HDD. I think it will work because some models of satellite M30X was also built with 100 GB directly from Toshiba.

  2 OEM Vista will not work because the OEM of Vista version needs a special BIOS for activation (BIOS for VISTA). You can install it but needs activation after a few days.

  3. the satellite M30X is 2 GB max memory, which means that it is possible to install strips of memory 2 x 1 GB... but I can't say if Crosiar memory will work but normally they work. The original partnumbers memory for a 1 GB module is 1024Mo PC2100/PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  I hope this will help you.
